Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online

Dr. Anita Russell draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what they are feeling and clarify what matters most. This approach can be especially helpful when stress, self-esteem concerns, or life changes have left someone feeling stuck or unsure of the next step.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practice new ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping, with a practical focus on skills clients can use between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, which can be useful when feelings feel intense or hard to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Russell works collaboratively with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then shapes the work accordingly.

Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support with flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can help clients fit therapy into busy schedules and stay connected to their goals across the week.
